Description I saw the planet outside the freighter. I could sense the Jedi close behind us and I sighed. What had I done to deserve this? When I had the time again I had to write down my current theories about the Dark Lord of the Night, how he was hated. Darkness in an evil form unlike Alderaan that was green and lush.

“Oyja, a zhip.” Kori said and I looked at the radar.

“They are still a good distance away.” I replied. “We should land and prepare.” With that I searched in my mind for a good place to land. In a few minutes we were flying over a forest. Landing, I turned the freighter into foliage that matched the surrounding area.

“Oyja, why doez the Dark Lord of the Night hate you when you freed him?” Kori asked as we walked towards a cave. “I can’t believe he doezn’t rezpect you.”

“The Dark Lord of the Night has a very large ego, you could say.” I replied as we entered the cave and smelled the mold on the walls. “He has half the way of true honor and justice. His vision, therefore, is skewed on that point. You can’t trust him.” I leaned against a wall and looked at the huge tunnel. I tapped my right foot and heard it hit something hollow. “Seems like this is an excellent place to hide, so many ways to go through.”

“But, zir, it would also be an excellent place for an ambuzh.” Kori said and sat down. “Thiz would provide the perfect opportunity for the Jedi. They could know where this cave endz.”

I shook my head in the dim light. “Remind me to be less serious sometimes.” I then started to walk further. “It is also a perfect position for us to set a trap for them.”

Kori hissed at me and I knew what she was thinking. “You would have to know every little turn in thiz place.” She replied. “We cannot learn that in a single moment.”

“A single thought is a single moment. In a single moment you can recall much.” I replied and held out my right hand. “A single thought can form a picture and this picture is known to the places.” A map formed above my hand. “Here is our way. Put your hand on it and you’ll know where we will go and what we will do.”

Kori hissed at me but followed my instructions. As her hand drew closer to the map it started to shake. She grimaced as all the information was poured into her head. I had it disappear and we started walking again. She took out a glowstick and moved it around. It was my turn to sigh as we walked deeper and deeper.

We had walked a little while before we came to a gigantic hole. It looked as though a monster had clawed the walls as it fell down. But the scratches were vague at some points and clear at others. Kori looked at me and I shook my head. It was hard for her to keep a hold on one of the walls; I watched her slip many times but I always helped her out. When she crossed the hole I walked easily across the walls.

Three lightsabers hissed as they were ignited. A Jedi Master and his two Padawans; one was a female Twi’lek and the other was a male Wookiee. The Master, himself, was a male human about six feet tall. The Master’s lightsaber was green while his Padawans’ lightsabers were yellow.

“Darth Oyja, you are under arrest by the Republic.” The Master said. “Come peacefully and I may try and see you alive after your trial.”

I looked in his face and I knew, as well as he, that accepting capture wasn’t an option. Try to keep me alive after my trial? They had deemed me a Sith and wouldn’t treat me as a simple robber. “I will not come.” I said and unhooked my lightsaber and ignited it. “I would suggest you back off now, none can best me. I beg of you not to test me.” Kori went into the shadows.

The large hole was too big for a Jedi or Sith to jump across. The Padawans threw pebbles with the Force to try and distract me while the Master attempted to climb across the walls to where I stood. I threw the pebbles back at them with the Force. They were then focusing on using their lightsabers to destroy the pebbles. It made fancy work to a common task but that’s not the thing to do in a battle. You have to stain your robes at some point. Real fighting isn’t a matter of looking good it’s a matter of staying alive and that’s not the cleanest job.

I ran to where the Master was. Though he didn’t have the mastery I had he still did a good job of keeping upright and not falling down. I raced towards him, he had gotten halfway, and he turned on his lightsaber. He had his right hand on the wall and I held my lightsaber in both hands, my boots seeming to stick to the wall. I saw the Master as he swung his lightsaber at me, I blocked it easily and he nearly lost his grip. This continued a little while before I noticed the two Padawans coming over; they did not want to lose their Master.

“I’m so sorry.” I whispered under my breath. With a wave of my hand part of the wall turned into claws and dug into the Padawans. Blood poured out and the Master looked defeated for a nanosecond. But then his face turned into rage.

“You killed innocents, di’kut!” He yelled and jumped at me. He would’ve fallen if I had not caught him in the Force. This kind action was not felt by him and he ran at me. I jumped across the hole and landed gingerly on the other side. He looked at me and jumped across, his rage propelled him an inch before the wall I was on. He swung his lightsaber but I blocked it and he fell down.

I watched him fall down and Kori came out of the shadows. “Zo, it iz done?” She asked me and I shook my head. “What more do we have to worry about? No more Jedi will dare come after uz.”

“That’s not what worries me.” I replied. “I have been damned and there won’t be Jedi help when I need it.”

Author’s Note: I’ve been waiting to do this fight scene since the series began. It’s cool. Things have changed but I love how it turned out. This is one of the few marks I’m glad to have done.

Perhaps rather than the line" I ran to where the Master was. Though he didn’t have the mastery I had he still did a good job of keeping upright and not falling down.", you could put," I rushed towards the Jedi Master, who although lacking my level of experiance with the Force, remained standing upright and ready to combat me despite his precarious balance near the ledge". Also- the Master was Mandolorian? It is a Mando curse word he uses when the padawans die, after all. Aside from that an altogether beautifully written chapter.

I understand why! Mando'a is a noble tradition, and I love it deeply, it merely seems odd to see a Jedi Mandalorian as they have certain... cultural inhibitions to using the Force, and the Jedi the emotional counterpart to the Mando'a taboo, as a Mando feels great love and hate naturally and a Jedi is trained not to feel it. It is not impossible for there to be Mandolorian Jedi, and I greatly respect those who can follow both paths, it is simply very rare to find those few. I am actually quite glad you included one. I was merely asking to clarify. And yes, people do readyour work, but most are too impressed with your originality to comment.
